IF you’ve started falling asleep in the living room, it’s not just a sign you need more shuteye, according to a poll.

It’s seen as the main sign of one of the most dreaded parts of the ageing process … turning into your dad.

Having a favourite chair in the living room, spending more time in the shed and an inability to recognise the names of stars in the Top 40 are listed as other clear examples that UK men have reached that terrifying time in their lives.

The survey of 2000 people, which also found that 38 was thought to be the average age when men turned into their dads, was carried out for TV channel Gold.

And it’s not just following in your own dad’s footsteps you need to worry about.

One-fifth of the female respondents in the survey said they thought they had married a man like their own father.
